There came to the English throneJames Stuart, King of Scotland, King now of England and Scotland. In1604 a treaty of peace ended the long war with Spain. Gone was thesixteenth century; here, though in childhood, was the seventeenthcentury.Now that the wars were over, old colonization schemes were revivedin the English mind. Of the motives, which in the first instance hadprompted these schemes, some with the passing of time had become weaker,some remained quite as strong as before. Most Englishmen and women knewnow that Spain had clay feet; and that Rome, though she might threaten,could not always perform what she threatened. To abase the pride ofSpain, to make harbors of refuge for the angel of the Reformation--thesewishes, though they had not vanished, though no man could know how longthe peace with Spain would last, were less fervid than they had been inthe days of Drake. But the old desire for trade remained as strong asever. It would be a great boon to have English markets in the New World,as well as in the Old, to which merchants might send their wares, andfrom which might be drawn in bulk, the raw stuffs that were neededat home. The idea of a surplus population persisted; England of fivemillion souls still thought that she was crowded and that it wouldbe well to have a land of younger sons, a land of promise for all notabundantly provided for at home. It were surely well, for mere pride'ssake, to have due lot and part in the great New World! And wealth likethat which Spain had found was a dazzle and a lure. Why, man, all theirdripping-pans are pure gold, and all the chains with which they chain uptheir streets are massy gold; all the prisoners they take are fetteredin gold; and for rubies and diamonds they go forth on holidays andgather 'em by the seashore! So the comedy of Eastward Ho! seen on theLondon stage in 1605--Eastward Ho! because yet they thought of Americaas on the road around to China.In this year Captain George Weymouth sailed across the sea and spenta summer month in North Virginia--later, New England. Weymouth hadpowerful backers, and with him sailed old adventurers who had beenwith Raleigh. Coming home to England with five Indians in his company,Weymouth and his voyage gave to public interest the needed filliptowards action. Here was the peace with Spain, and here was the newinterest in Virginia. Go to! said Mother England. It is time to placeour children in the world!
